Five Electrical Safety Compliance Tests in One Box

Chroma Systems Solutions releases the 19032 series Safety Analyzer able to perform five dielectric tests in one unit including AC/DC Hipot, Insulation Resistance, Ground Bond, and optional Leakage Current tests.  The time-saving TwinPort™ feature performs Hipot and Ground Bond simultaneously cutting time for these tests in half.  The 19032 also has an open / short check function (OSC) that checks for an open connection or a DUT short during testing.  Open connections may cause a bad DUT to test OK.  Screening for shorts prevents damage to the equipment saving potential costs that may occur.  These patented features are only available in safety products manufactured by Chroma.
